3135 Buying Advice

[VWatch12]

Hey guys,

I'm interested in getting a 3135 clone for a build I want to do, and thought I'd ask for your collective thoughts.
Any info is helpful at this point–where to get one, SA vs. SH, etc. Help me fill in the blanks.

Thank you all in advance.

VRF or SH. Avoid the SA. Asmodeus has the connection for VRF. They are still relatively new so while longevity isn't proven, their finish and build quality is superior to the SH by multiple accounts, several watchsmiths who are very knowledgeable...I believe occb2 and tickleshoes, have done teardowns so I expect them to be at least as reliable, if not more so in the long run.

Working on VR right now and it beats sh hands down.

Well at least that might keep us from needing a new DW if the replacement movement comes with one from VRF.
